FEMALE FIGHT IN BETHLEHEM

How and Why One Woman Pounded Another in the Street Yesterday

Mrs. Fred CRIPPS, who resides with her husband, a peddler, at 142 West Maple
street, appeared at the police court yesterday afternoon, and informed Justice
TRUESDALE that she wished to give herself up. She was interrogated by the ‘Squire,
and in explanation said that she had just threshed a woman on West Maple street,
a few doors from her house; that she knew she was guilty of assault and battery,
and that she involuntarily gave herself up to justice. She said the woman’s
name whom she had so thoroughly and effectively disposed of in her hard-fought
pugilistic encounter was Mrs. Lena FRITZ, who resides in the same neighborhood,
and which locality is known as "Bethleham." Mrs. CRIPPS said she
contemplated giving Mrs. FRITZ a severe thrashing for some time, and had saved
up five dollars with which to pay her fine in case she was sentenced in the
police court. This money she produced in the court room, but Justice TRUESDALE
told her she had better keep her money until she had been found guilty of some
charge.

In conversation with a Democrat and Chronicle reporter, Mrs. CRIPPS told the
cause of her difficulties with the woman FRITZ. It appears that some time ago
Mrs. CRIPPS imparted to Mrs. FRITZ the information that her (Mrs. CRIPPS)
husband was unkind to her and did not treat her as he had sworn to do in the
marriage vows. This intelligence was given under pledge of secrecy, Mrs. FRITZ
swearing never to reveal it to any one. But she did. She told several people of
it, and it finally reached the ears of CRIPPS himself. He became enraged and on
going home beat his wife for circulating the story. Mrs. CRIPPS took the beating
with as good grace as possible, but determined that the woman who had really
circulated the story should also suffer. She accordingly saved money with which
to pay her fine, and meeting Mrs. FRITZ on the street, as above stated, about
half-past 1 o’clock yesterday, proceeded to give her five dollars’ worth of
satisfaction. Mrs. CRIPPS is a small and Mrs. FRITZ a large woman. Both are
German.

DEATH OF MRS. WILLIAM H. BOWMAN

There are many of the first citizens of Rochester and vicinity who will learn
with feelings of the deepest regret of the sudden death of Laura P. BOWMAN, wife
of William H. BOWMAN, the well-known Rochester lawyer. The sad event occurred at
the Whitcomb house at 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The suddenness of the
blow which took Mrs. BOWMAN away, as well as the total prostration preceding it,
add to the sorrow attendant upon it. Mrs. BOWMAN was stricken down and became
quite ill two weeks ago last Friday, and last Wednesday her prostration became
more complete and overpowering, from a stroke of paralysis, which deprived her
of the power to move her limbs or in any way use her right side. She was not
only rendered helpless and speechless by the blow, but on Thursday she became
unconscious. Although the paralysis ended her sufferings, or at least ended her
personal knowledge of her sad condition, it only served the more strongly to
excite the keenest sympathy and sorrow on the part of her husband and friends.
She lingered along in this condition until yesterday afternoon, when her life
passed peacefully away. Dr. E. M. MOORE attended her and did all he could to
restore the lost vigor and strength, but Mrs. BOWMAN had passed beyond human
aid.

Laura P. BOWMAN was an estimable woman, and her loss is one to be regretted
not only by the dear friends who loved her, but by all who knew her. She was
forty-seven years of age, and her home in girlhood was in Saratoga. Her father
and mother, Mr. and Mrs. PORTER, died when she was quite young, and she, an
orphan, was subsequently taken as an adopted daughter into the family of William
N. BEACH, with whom she lived until, twenty-one years ago, she became the wife
of William H. BOWMAN. After their marriage Mr. and Mrs. BOWMAN lived first in
the town of Clarkson in this county, where they still have many warm friends.
Thirteen years ago they removed to Rochester, and have since made this city
their home. For some time past they have resided at the Whitcomb house, where
the lamented lady died yesterday.

Besides her husband Mrs. BOWMAN leaves a son- John P. BOWMAN - to mourn the
loss of that dearest member in any family - a loving mother. Mr. and Mrs. BOWMAN
lost one of their children - a daughter - several years ago, and the father and
son are now the only surviving members of the family. They will have the
sympathy of the community in their deep affliction.

The funeral will probably take place on Thursday (to-morrow), from the
Whitcomb house, at 10 or 11 o’clock. Rev. Dr. ANSTICE, rector of St. Luke’s
church, where Mrs. BOWMAN was an attendant, will conduct the funeral services.

VAN VECHTEN - COLLINS - At the residence of Mr. John L. CHACE, in the town of
Gates, June 9th, 1880, by the Rev. Charles P. COIT, Frank A. VAN
VECHTEN, of this city, and Clara L. COLLINS, of Gates.

HIS FOOT SMASHED

An Accident to a Young Machinist Yesterday

A young machinist named Leo SULLIVAN met with quite a serious accident
yesterday afternoon. In the machine shop of John GREENWOOD, on Mill street,
where SULLIVAN was regularly employed, the men were at work fitting a heavy
fly-wheel upon a shaft. The wheel was elevated some distance from the floor and
was about to be shipped on the shaft, when it caught into something. Owing to
some unknown circumstances the men who had hold of the wheel loosed their grip
and it fell to the floor. SULLIVAN was standing near, and the wheel in its
descent fell on his foot, completely crushing his toes. He was taken to Peter
Siener’s drug store, on Wilder street, where the injured member was cared for
and was subsequently taken to his home on the same street.

FATAL FALL AT MIDNIGHT

Sad Death of Henry Lampert, The Well-Known Tanner
He Falls Sixteen Feet from a Ladder, Strikes Upon His Head, and Instantly
Killed -
Discovery of His Body Lying in a Pool of Blood - The Case in the Hands of the
Coroner.

One of the most distressing accidents that have been recorded in these
columns for a long time, occurred shortly before twelve o’clock last night.
DONNER & ZELLER are the proprietors of a German Sunday paper, which is
located at 72 Water street in a building owned by Henry LAMPERT. For a few days
the building has been undergoing repairs, and when the storm came up about ten o’clock
last evening, the water began to pour into the building and threatened to flood
the printing office. Mr. ZELLER went to Mr. LAMPERT’S house on St. Paul street
and informed him of the state of affairs. Mr. LAMPERT at once procured a light
and a coat and started for the office. There he procured a bunch of keys and
tried to get into the next door. Failing in this, he broke in a window, went up
stairs and broke in a door between the partitions, and tried to get up to the
next floor. He was unable to do so, and concluded to go down and try by another
flight of stairs to reach the roof. Mr. ZELLER offered to accompany him, but he
said there was no use of it; he could get along just as well alone. Mr. LAMPERT
went up stairs about 11:30, and was never again seen alive. Policeman CONNOLLY
was passing by DONNER’S office about 11:30, and noticed a light there and
heard talking. He asked what the matter was, and DONNER told him that Mr.
LAMPERT had gone up stairs to look for a leak that was ------ water in on the
p-----. He then went his beat and returning in about half an hour, asked whether
LAMPERT had come down yet. They told him he had not. CONNELLY had not noticed
any lights moving about on the roof, and immediately suspected that something
must have happened. DONNER and ZELLER were also uneasy and suggested that the
officer call him. CONNOLLY said that he would rap, as Mr. LAMPERT would be more
apt to hear it. He rapped several times and received no answer. He then called
out, "Mr. LAMPERT, are you there?" Again he received no reply. He was
now more than ever alarmed, and started down Water street to get Watchman
MacBRINE, who carried a lantern. McBRINE was only about half a block distant,
and the two came back together to DONNER’S office. CONNOLLY and ZELLER then
took the lantern and started up the stairway in search of the missing man,
CONNOLLY going first. When they were on the third flight looking ahead, the
officer saw a man’s foot and ankle hanging over the top step. When ZELLER saw
it, in his fright, he did not wait to see what was the matter, but started down
stairs. CONNOLLY went on, and reaching the top found Mr. LAMPERT lying in a pool
of blood, on his left side. He took hold of his pulse and cried out, "He is
dead." His shirt sleeve and vest were saturated with blood, which had
evidently flowed out of his nose and mouth. The dead man was lying at the foot
of an almost perpendicular ladder, which reaches from the fourth floor to a
trap-door in the roof. The height is about sixteen feet. Not far from him were
his hat, gum-coat, bunch of keys and hand lamp - the last badly battered. On
looking up at the trap our reporter saw that one corner of it was partially
pulled over the opening. The supposition is that Mr. LAMPERT had gone on the
roof and was returning. His hands were filled with the things he was carrying
and in endeavoring to shut the trap-door he must have lost his balance and
fallen head foremost to the floor beneath. This suggestion will explain the
position in which he was found, and the instant death, probably from breaking of
the neck. Connolly, after finding the body, returned and told the news to the
friends below and told MacBRINE to send word by telephone to the coroner and the
Democrat and Chronicle office. Dr. FARLEY soon appeared and they laid the body
out on a door in the room where the accident had happened. Coroner FARLEY then
went with CONNOLLY to break the news of the accident to the family, who reside
at the corner of Andrews and St. Paul street. They then proceeded to undertaker
JEFFREYS and he soon after prepared the corpse for burial. The body was taken to
the family residence this morning and an inquest will be held some time to-day.
Those who were taking to last night in reference to the accident were, most of
them well acquainted with the deceased. Many expressions of deep regret and
sorrow were uttered, and the unanimous verdict was that one of the best men of
the neighborhood had been lost by Mr. LAMPERT’S death. One man said "I
have lost my best friend, one who would do anything for a man in trouble."
Another regretted that, just when Mr. LAMPERT’S financial affairs were
becoming very bright and prosperous, he should have been called away from the
enjoyment of life and happiness. The deceased came to this city about sixteen
years ago from Nunda, where he carried on very successfully his business of
tanning. He opened a tannery on Mumford street, and for eight years was in
business there. He then built a large building at the corner of North Water and
Andrews streets, and enlarged the facilities for business. Many men have been in
his employ, and he gained their friendship and good will by his honest, generous
dealings with them. The family of the deceased consists of four daughters and
one son. The son is the youngest child and is about twelve years of age. The
oldest daughter is about twenty-five.

REV. CHARLES E. FURMAN, D. D.

The subject of this sketch has been known to the people of Western New York
for nearly sixty years. Although he had been an invalid for several years, the
announcement of his death will bring surprise to many of his friends and will be
a source of profound sorrow to all who knew him. He had lived a long and
eventful life, had done valiant service in his Master’s cause, and at last
laid down his cross only to assume the victor’s crown. Mr. FURMAN was born in
Clinton, Duchess county, December 13, 1801. He graduated from Union college in
1820 and Auburn theological seminary in 1823. For a year after leaving the
seminary he acted as agent of the American tract society in the state of Ohio.
He afterward preached a year at Fort Wayne, being the first Presbyterian
minister that ever preached there. He then came east on a visit, and before his
return he received a call to the Presbyterian church at Clarkson. He concluded
to accept the call, and filled the pulpit for five years and a half. He then
went to Hamilton, Canada, and remained two years, leaving on account of the
Canadian rebellion. He came to Rochester, and acted as stated supply for the
Brick church during one winter. He then preached eight years at Victor, and
about the same length of time at Medina. In 1857 his health failed him, and he
came to Rochester, where he had since resided, making his home with his
daughter, Mrs. Martin BRIGGS. After coming to Rochester he acted for five years
as agent for the Bible society. He had not had a regular charge for more than
twenty years, but had at different times filled the pulpits of the churches in
Chili, Gates, Brighton and Clarkson. For five years he had been out of health
and for the last two years had been confined to the house. His pain was
incessant and excruciating and since Monday he has been under the influence of
opiates. He parred away quietly at 6 o’clock last evening, at the residence of
Martin BRIGGS, 181 State street. Five children survive him, Mrs. Edward FRENCH,
Lancaster, N. Y.; Mrs. Samuel ROOT, Dubugue, Iowa; Mrs. Martin BRIGGS, Charles
E. FURMAN and Robert H. FURMAN, all of this city. The time of the funeral will
be announced hereafter.

DEATH OF LUTHER A. ALLEN

A private letter from John F. BURRILL, grand secretary of the grand lodge of
Mason of Illinois, informs us of the death, at Springfield, Ill., on the 5th
of June, of Luther A. ALLEN, and that his remains were taken in charge by Elwood
commandery, number O, K. T., stationed there, and were deposited in Oak Ridge
cemetery, "with full knightly honors." the grand secretary adds:
"Elwood commandery united with Monroe in mourning the loss of so true and
courteous a knight, and one so universally beloved for his many manly
qualities." The deceased was a historic character in Masonic annals in this
city. It is several years since he removed to Illinois and settled in
Springfield, but he has preferred to retain his early Masonic connections here;
hence he died an honored member of Valley lodge, Hamilton chapter and Monroe
commandery. Luther A. ALLEN was one of the nine companions (all now deceased)
who assisted in reinstituting the chapter, February 6th, 1846, and at
that time was elected secretary, an office which he held for only one year, and
soon after his name is absent from the records.

Through the courtesy of C. C. GIFFORD, we learn that he affiliated with
Valley Lodge No. 109, September 1st, 1846, being one of the earliest
to join this lodge after the organization, September 9th, 1845. The
only older member known to be surviving is William H. CHENEY, who, we
understand, is now unfortunately seriously sick. He received the orders of
knighthood in Monroe Commandery, No. 12, about the year 1849. To the active
masons of the present day his name is scarcely more than a tradition, but the
fact of his continued membership here has imparted to his name a patriarchal
character, and as such his death will be lamented by our numerous brethren, who
will bear it in grateful remembrance that the chivalric knights of the city of
Springfield held our dead fr??re and brother in such high esteem as to pay his
remains knightly honors even without the formality of a request from the
officers of old Monroe. Sir Knight ALLEN was in the 74th year of his
age.

A DARING ROBBERY

Three young men entered the office of Henry WILSON’S flour mills on North
Water street, and watching their opportunity, one of them rifled the money
drawer of its contents. There were but six dollars in the till at the time, and
the young robbers were probably disappointed in that they expected to find more.
One of the employes in the mill saw the robbery, and running into the office
seized one of the desparadoes. He gave his name as Conrad GILLEN, and Officer
ALLEN being summoned, the evil doer was taken to the police station.

experienced a severe shock. The house was injured by the freaks of the lightning
considerably. Three posts were shattered, the plastering thrown down and the
bed-stead damaged. The property is known as the old Joseph LONGLEY house.

of this city.

We notice in the Freeport (Ill.) Journal two columns giving an account of the
marriage of E. W. MORSE, one of our popular young men, to Miss Alice L. SCOFIELD.
Judging from the number of guests, their toilets and the number of presents
given "to the bride," it must have been a brilliant affair.

The following from the Oneida Democratic Union refers to a former well-known
resident of this city: "Joseph ZORN, foreman of the wood shop in the casket
works, was on Saturday last agreeably surprised with a solid silver tobacco box,
which was presented by the workmen of his department. This token of regard was
not only duly appreciated by Mr. ZORN, but also afforded a degree of
satisfaction to the firm, as it bore evidence of that harmony among their
employes without which satisfactory progress cannot be made."

Fred R. WREN, who has been at Chicago during the past season, has returned to
Buffalo, and may appear at one of our city theaters in a few weeks. He became a
great favorite in Chicago.

David WARD, of Toronto, the backer and trainer of HANLAN, passed through the

Isaac HELLEMS, who lived to the good old age of seventy-four years, died
Friday morning at his residence, 12 Oak street - in the house built by his own
hands thirty-two years ago, and occupied by him ever since as his place of
residence. He was a good old man, known and respected by scores of people in
Rochester and vicinity. Every one of those who ever knew him will sincerely
regret to learn that he is gone. Mr. HELLEMS was the son of a native of
Pennsylvania, and was born in Canada, near St. Catherines. He came to Rochester
in the year 1827, and for many years plied his trade as a successful carpenter
and builder. He was identified with many memorable events and incidents in the
early history of the city. He took an active part in advocating and working for
the establishment of the ten-hour system for working people, and was one of
those who actually hired and paid a man for ringing the court house bell at 7 o’clock
every morning and at 6 o’clock every evening - thus impressing his point more
forcibly on the minds of the people. He was one of the early assessors of the
city, was a school trustee of old number 5 district, was a very active pioneer
fireman and one of the first members of fire company number 3. He was also a
respected member of the Universalist church. From many of the walks of life
wherein he was formerly very active he has been missed for several years, and
now a few of his old associates who survive him will sincerely lament that he is
no more. Some time ago Mr. HELLEMS was stricken down with malerial fever, of
which he suffered a long siege. This disease was followed by rheumatism, and
gradually pain made its deep mark upon the old gentleman’s vitality, finally
effacing it altogether. He leaves a son and a daughter - Charles HELLEMS and
Mrs. Caroline WAY - both of this city. Brothers and sisters residing near St.
Catherines, Ont., survive him. The funeral will take place this afternoon at 3 o’clock,
at the house, 12 Oak street.

BLOWN TO PIECES

The Result Upon his Father’s Store of John Rhineschmidt’s Powder
Experiment

New York Sun. June 12.
A whole house was blown to pieces by a firecracker, at Wynockie, Passaic
county, N. J., on Thursday afternoon. There was a town meeting in progress, at
which the inhabitants of the neighborhood were present, the question under
consideration being what should be done in consequence of a late decision of the
courts holding the township liable for a large amount of bonds that had been
subscribed toward building the Montclair railroad. While the meeting was in
progress a terrific explosion was heard. Hastening to the spot, the started
taxpayers found the house of Daniel RHINESCHMIDT lying in ruins in the cellar.
It was a two and a half story frame building, the lower part being occupied by
Mr. RHINESCHMIDT’s country store, while the upper part was occupied by Mr.
RHINESCHMIDT’s oldest son and family. Fortunately all of these were out at the
time. While the throng were looking at the ruins there was a movement in the
rubbish, and a human form emerged. It was Mr. RHINESCHMIDT’s youngest son,
John, about eighteen or nineteen years of, who had been left in charge of the
store. His clothing was all torn from his body, and he was black with burns from
head to foot. He is terribly injured, but it is thought he will recover. He had
undertaken to explode a fire-cracker, but it failed to go off. Then he brought
out a keg containing about fifteen pounds of gunpowder, with which he proceeded
to fill the wrapper of the unexploded fire-cracker. While he was pouring in the
powder, holding it over the keg so that none of it would be spilled, the
explosion occurred. It is supposed that there must have been left a spark in the
wrapper of the fire-cracker, which set fire to the powder. The sides of the
house were blown out, and the upper portion fell into the cellar. The building
was worth between $700 and $800, but the greatest loss is in damaged goods, the
store having been lately replenished with a large amount of stock. The total
loss is estimated at from $4,000 to $5,000.

TORN BY BLOODHOUNDS

Moses Sprat Visits His Dog Kennel When Drunk, and Nearly Loses His Life

New York, June 12 - Moses SPRAT, an aged negro, lives on a small farm near
Fairview, N. J. he was a slave on a plantation in Virginia before the war, and
after his liberation he came north, and settled at his present home. He brought
with him a thoroughbred bloodhound that his former master had owned, and for
several years past he has made a living by rearing dogs of that breed for
fanciers in this city and the vicinity. In the yard at the rear of his house he
has a kennel, that is occupied by a number of bloodhounds. On Wednesday night
last "Uncle Moses," as SPRAT is called, gave a party, to which he
invited a number of his friends. SPRAT and his guests partook freely of
applejack, and at midnight they were all very much exhilerated. While SPRAT was
in this condition he went into the yard. As he was passing the kennel he spoke
to the dogs, but the liquor he had drank had rendered his voice thick and
unnatural, and the only response he received was a low growl, which showed that
he was not recognized by his pets. This made the old negro very indignant, and
in his intoxicated fury he picked up a stick and struck a powerful brute named
Pomp a severe blow on the head. The maddened animal resented this with a
terrible howl, broke its chain, sprang at SPRAT, seized him by the throat and
hurled him to the ground. Another of the bloodhounds named Boz, also attacked
him.

A desperate struggle ensued, and SPRAT was almost completely exhausted before
his cries attracted the attention of his guests. They hurried to his assistance,
and with clubs and stones, succeeded after a protracted battle, in beating off
the infuriated animals. SPRAT’s clothing was torn to shreds, and his entire
body was terribly cut and lacerated. A doctor was summoned from Hackensack, and
he dressed the injured man’s wounds.

SPRAT, it is believed, will recover. He says he will not kill the dogs that
attacked him, because he had no business to get drunk, and he doesn’t wonder
they did not recognize him under the circumstances.

Supervisor ROGERS is lying dangerously ill at his residence on Broad street.

WELLS & FULLER are building an addition to their hotel on Lake Bluff at
Sodus bay.

C. D. GAYLORD, of Sodus village, was appointed town secretary for Sodus by
the Sunday school convention recently held at Clyde.

A. M. WINEHESTER, who has been a business man in Sodus village for the past
forty-five years, moved this week to Mansville, Jefferson county.

The parsonage of the Clyde Presbyterian church, it is understood, is soon to
undergo a thorough renovation preparatory to its occupancy by the Rev. W. H.
BATES, the pastor-elect of that society.

The hardware store of Rogers & Smith, of Sodus village, was burglarised
last Thursday night. The burglars broke a large window pane in the rear of the
store, entered and unbolted the rear door. They took considerable pocket cutlery
and an amount of silverware to the amount of $150. There was some change in the
money drawer which was not taken. No clue has been obtained as to who the
burglars were.

Henry BUYS, captain of the tug Joseph E. SPINNEY, at Sodus Point, discovered
two objects on Wednesday morning, near the buoy that had been anchored where
Oscar HEWSON and Charles SERGEANT were drowned last week Thursday. He ran out
there with the tug and discovered the bodies of the two unfortunate individuals.
Mr. BUYS secured them with ropes and towed them ashore, and had their friends
notified, who during the day procured coffins and had them buried.

About sixty years ago George BURRELL gave to the village of Clyde a tract of
land for a village park. The land was graded, walks made and trees set out. In
the course of time some of the trees died. Thirty-five years ago a number of
young men went to the woods where each one dug up a small tree and transplanted
it into the park and engaged to care for that particular tree till it was beyond
the need of care. The trees grew and in time became large trees. Four of that
party of young men have since died after passing the meridian of life, and, what
is very remarkable, the trees set out by the four respectively have also died.

AGATHA DOCKRELL’S HAIR

How it was Shorn from her Head by a Rude Fellow on a Lonely Fordham Road.

N. Y. Sun, 12th
Agathy DOCKRELL is twelve years old, and she lives with her parents on
Valentine avenue, near Fordham. She is a very pretty girl, and was especially
admired for her long, glossy, brown hair, which was allowed to fall in luxurious
freedom over her shoulders. It reached half way down to her waist. No barber’s
scissors ever approached her head. Whatever attention was required was given by
her mother. Hairdressers had offered to buy the long locks, but their offers
were always refused.

Yesterday morning Agatha started for school. Her mother watched her down the
road for a little while before she reentered the house. Half an hour later,
looking, casually, out of the front window, she was astounded to see her
daughter flying towards the house, hatless, and with a face pale with terror.
But stranger yet, of all the mass of glossy brown hair that had waved over her
shoulders in the morning, not a lock remained. She had got about half way, she
said, between her home and the school, when she saw a rough-looking man seated
by the wayside in a lonely part of the road. He arose as she approached, and she
quickened her pace. But the tramp was too swift for her. Throwing his arm around
her waist he asked for a lock of her hair. She struggled to break away, but she
was held by a powerful arm. The fellow drew a large pair of scissors from his
pocket, and then transferred his grasp from her waist to her hair. In another
moment she was shorn of her tresses. All this time she had been screaming for
aid at the top of her voice, but nobody responded, and the tramp, having
finished his work, turned and ran away, while his victim hurried home.

The Tremont police were notified of the occurrence, but the girl had been so
terrified that she had taken little notice of her assailant’s appearance. All
that she remembered about him was that he had been very shabbily dressed.

"He may have sold the hair and spent the money for rum before this
time," said the sergeant, yesterday afternoon. "We shall be lucky if
we catch him, with such a description as has been given us; but our officers are
looking for him."

In the afternoon a man entered a Fordham liquor saloon and said he had a
small article to dispose of cheap, "of a kind much in vogue among
ladies," and, as he had found it on the highway, he "would be willing
to sell it for two drinks and half a dollar." Unfortunately the man had
been in the same saloon before, trying to get a drink on credit, and the
thoughtless bartender kicked him out before he could show what was in his hat.

A CHILD’S THIRST

A serious accident occurred to a little child of Charles YATES, residing at

anise which he keeps in his room. Yesterday morning, after using it, he
neglected to place it out of reach, and the little one toddling into the room,
picked up the bottle and commenced to drink its contents. Hearing its screams,
the mother rushed in and perceiving at a glance what had transpired, sent a

SUDDEN DEATH OF SUSAN F. STEEL

DEATH OF DR. J. L. CURTIS

The many friends of Dr. J. L. CURTIS, of Batavia, will learn with regret of
his sudden death in that village yesterday morning. He was taken with bleeding
of the lungs and before his friends could realize his danger he had passed away.
Dr. CURTIS had a large practice in this city, and his death will be mourned by
hundreds who owe their existence to-day to his skill. He was highly esteemed by
all who knew him. It is thought that the loss of his only son, a few months ago,
wore upon the doctor. He also suffered from injuries received by the recent
overturning of his carriage.

JUMPED THE TRAIN

Desperate Escape of a Newark Prisoner on His Way to the Penitentiary

Officer H. H. STANSELL left Newark, Wayne county, yesterday morning, in
charge of a prisoner, named Thomas WARD, convicted in Towanda of petit larceny,
and whom he intended to conduct to the Monroe county penitentiary. As the train
reached Rochester, WARD asked permission to go into the closet, and Officer
STANSELL loosened the handcuffs for that purpose. After an interval of two or
three minutes, the prisoner was seen to make a dash for the car door, and the
officer sprang after him. WARD jumped the train, and the officer jumped too. The
prisoner alighted on his feet, but the officer was not so fortunate. He struck
on a pile of ties, missed his footing, and was thrown a distance of twenty feet.
The prisoner escaped, but was followed by officer STANSELL, notwithstanding his
bruised condition. The chase was continued for about a mile, but WARD was too
fleet footed for justice and got away. Officer STANSELL is seriously bruised and
cut about the face and limbs. It is reported that officers which subsequently
started in pursuit of the officer have succeeded in capturing him.

control over the animal, which ran up the street at a terrific pace. The driver
was thrown out at the corner of St. Paul street, and the excited beast ran up
St. Paul to East Main, up that thoroughfare to East avenue, where he was
subsequently stopped. No serious damage was done and no one injured.
